Abstract：At present, more and more research indicates that Celltracks(R) AutoPrep(R) misses circulating tumor cells(CTCs)with atypicalepithelial characteristics,which have a stronger ability of invasion and metastasis than CTCs simply expressing epithelial characteristic and a higher value to judge efficacy and prognosis. This paper reviews the contrast between Celltracks AutoPrep system and ISET technology,and the effect of EpCAM expression, hybrid,EMT+tumor,circulating tumor stem cells and irreversible EMT+tumor cells on the detection rate of Celltracks(R) AutoPrep(R)system,as well as the feasibility of Celltracks(R) AutoPrep(R) system for detecting CTCs.
